Which of the following statements is FALSE ? Atoms undergo electronic transitions but not rotational or vibrational transitions B Typically, IR radiation causes vibrational transitions of molecules O c Compared to IR, UV radiations have longer wavelengths and less energy D Shorter the wavelength of a radiation higher the frequency
In UV-VIS absorption, these wavelengths of light drive electronic transitions. What type of transition(s) does infrared spectroscopy drive? Are these transitions more or less energetic than electronic transitions?
Which of the following statements about IR spectroscopy are true? Check all that apply. The frequency of vibration depends on the mass of the atoms on either end of the excited bond. A common light source used to generate light of IR wavelengths is a tungsten filament lamp. The type of bond (single, double, triple) has no effect on the energy required for excitation in IR spectroscopy. The potential energy of bond oscillation is affected by Coulombic repulsion when the...

true/false 1. Energy of absorbed photon equals energy of emitted photon. 2. Following emission, molecule returns to its lowest energy state by a series of rapid vibrational relaxations. 3. The lifetime of the excited vibrational states is about a femtosecond; the lifetime of the excited electronic state is generally longer than a nanosecond. 4. Photon absorption usually occurs when a molecule is in its ground electronic state.
